Why Bernie Sanders Will Win

[tecelote]

Because every Republican candidate is way more extreme.

Hillary and Joe are status quo hawks.

Bernie is honest and ethical.

He believes in Americans over America.

He is for the people not the nation.

He has been fighting for the same ideology for years.

He is real and he's fighting for us.

Honesty and integrity.

What we need and why Bernie will win.

1. Love Bernie. You do understand that nationally Hillary not only leads HUGE over Bernie, but

lots of folks dont even know who he is, you do know that?

I love Bernie, but even Bernie knows he has a huge hill to climb.

Some argue that he really didnt have any intention of winning in the first place because he knows what machine he is up against, I mean if ANYBODY knows about the status quo political machines of both partiers, it is him.

I chastised someone earlier for implying that Bernie isnt in it to win, because that is no way to talk at this point of the game.

But were he to win it would be the biggest upset of ALL time.

ALL time.

Has to happen someday, someday we have to elect someone who isnt part of the broken machine that George Carlin spoke of often.

Is it now?

Let's find out!

[tecelote]

3. A bigger upset than a black man or women winning?

[Android3.14]

4. Yup, bigger even than that

And more honest.

[randys1]

5. Sure, bigger. Think about who he is. I mean the S word alone

For god's sake, this is America, filled with morons who think rich people dont have enough and the poor have it too easy...

Bernie actually used the S word in reference to himself

Big upset?

HUGE

[AgingAmerican]

24. He calls himself a 'Democratic Socialist'

Which is not the same thing as a 'Socialist.'

[randys1]

25. if you only knew who you were telling that to...LOL

[Scootaloo]

6. Not so huge, all things considered.

As Camp Windsock and the Bernie-Buts like to remind us, "he's a socialist!" and "he has no name recognition!" and - most damning of all! - "He's not taking huge donor money!"

But yet, look how well he's doing with all that, even so.

And contrary to the hair-on-fire sorts, the Convention is not happening this Friday. Yes, if it were, Clinton would be the nominee. But it's not. It's ten months off from now. And the problem clinton faces over this period is that when you start on top, there's only one direction left to go.

[pinebox]

10. Lots of folks don't know who he is kind of like....

Obama at this stage in 2007.

It would be another huge upset for sure, the previous withstanding

[SheilaT]

13. The very fact that lots of folks still don't know who he is

means that as they start learning about him and what he stands for, he will gain vastly more supporters.

People post polls, like this latest national one, as if any of them are the final word on what will happen in November next year. First off, we don't have a national primary. We do it one or two states at a time, then a couple of groups of states, until we have a nominee. At this point in 2007 not only had a lot of people still not really heard of Barack Obama, but Hillary was Inevitable. Don't forget that. Right now she is Hillary the Inevitable Redux. But there's still a long way to go.

2. He like Emanuel Kant, uses pure reason, Hillary has to hide the reasons for her success and failures

no one either side of the aisle will Trust her .

16. "He, like Emmanuel Kant, uses pure reason"

[orpupilofnature57]

30. Thank You , that guy and Renee Descarte too

Now munch on that, know what I mean ??

[Thinkingabout]

7. When you speak ill of Joe Biden who has been in Congress since 1973, working for the betterment of

Working Americans, it clouds any of the information you have to help your candidate. Hillary started working for children's rights to education and health conditions, it clouds your promotion of your candidate of whom can be classified as status quo also. Look at the standings of the issues for all three candidates, I bet you will find the same positions on many of the issues. If being against minimum wage increases is bad then all of these candidates are bad.

I see post complaining of smears against the candidates, it happens too often, I dont understand smearing and not expecting more smearing, this is DU.

[roguevalley]

8. biden wrote the patriot act, he is the reason credit card debt is so high,

I could go on. It isn't smears to talk about him and his record. He is a war monger as well. Truth hurts.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Then if smears are what you prefer dont complain when anyone tells the

Truth other candidates, it makes it fair game.

[roguevalley]

11. good god. Is laying out facts then smears? That would be awesome.

no one would be able to tell the truth about anyone without being accused of smears. Nothing I said was a smear. It was the truth. Thinkabout it harder. I personally prefer truth. thanks.

[Thinkingabout]

14. When the facts was laid out by the super pac it was classified as a smear.

[shenmue]

18. Biden is a war monger who made the credit card debt high?

What the hell?

[Thinkingabout]

19. Guess we can lay the title of war monger on Bernie also.

[roguevalley]

21. sad, sad, sad. Yes, he voted for the war lies and he led the charge to keep

credit card debt sky high. Maybe you weren't old enough to remember. I will never forget. Your attempt to diminish what he did is sad.

[shenmue]

17. It hasn't been DU in a while.

[Fast Walker 52]

12. that's basically my take

he seems like the most honest candidate. I do worry because he's not naturally charismatic like some politicians, but I hope people will go for the real thing this time.

[WillyT]

15. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

20. The last time I used the term trash talking...

...I was banned from a forum.
The trash talking in this entire thread, by what I thought was fellow dems, I find absolutely disgusting. I think I have joined the wrong site.

[Fumesucker]

22. It was a good bit worse in 2008

And oddly enough some of the die hard Hillary supporters now were die hard Obama supporters then.

Way more going on here than meets the eye.

[Uben]

23. He wont win, but I wish he would

We all have an opinion, and everyone is entitled to theirs. I don't think he'll win the nomination, the numbers are just not there. I like Bernie, think he would make an excellent prez. I like Clinton and Biden, too. Any one of them would be good as prez. I will vote for the nominee.

[procon]

26. Where do you factor in the Electoral College votes needed?

If Sanders is the nominee I'll happily vote for him, just as I will any other Democrat. But first, show me the quantifiable data, the measureable path that get's him to that point.

[randome]

29. But that relies on...numbers and stuff. Ewww!

27. Following in the footsteps of President Kucinich?

[Utopian Leftist]

28. Authenticity:

It's the reason he won't have to wait around for focus groups to tell him right from wrong.
